Instructions

1

Keep a can of air freshener on hand.

2

Wait for the fly to land on a surface.

3

Slowly grab the air freshener and sneak toward the fly, avoiding any sudden movements.

4

Move your arm slowly until you are holding the nozzle of the can close enough to spray the fly with mist.

5

Press the spray button quickly and hold it down so that the air freshener coats the fly's wings. The coating makes it difficult for the fly to escape.

6

Spray the fly again once it falls and it should die within a few minutes.
